Boulder police are looking for one man and two women suspected of spending thousands of dollars on stolen credit cards after a theft at a Whole Foods in January.

According to a release, a woman was shopping at Whole Foods, 2905 Pearl St., when a male bumped into her cart. She told police she put her open purse on the cart while she was shopping and thinks the male stole her wallet out of the purse after crashing into her and distracting her.

A short time later, cards from her wallet were used to make puchases at several stores, including Apple, Target, Gymboree, Sunglasses Hut and Nordstrom Rack.

Surveillance photos show two different women using the cards at some of the locations.

The first female is described as white or Hispanic between the ages of 26 and 30, with an average or slim build and brown or auburn hair. She was wearing dark-framed eyeglasses, a gray sweater with a white shirt, jeans and a dark-colored purse.

The second female was described as between 30 to 35 years old, slightly overweight with straight, dark hair. She was wearing a dark-colored jacket, a white scarf and carrying a handbag.

Witnesses said both women were speaking Spanish and were wearing "high-end" clothing and carrying Gucci and Louis Vuitton handbags.

The third suspect -- who was not caught on surveillance -- was described as a Hispanic male in his early- to mid-20s, 6-feet 2-inches tall with a stocky build and short black hair. He was wearing a white stocking cap with blue stripes and a black jacket.
